When I said two weeks, I didn't mean you. I was referencing some people at TF.N who feel it's okay to post huge spoilers whenever and wherever they please.

I just finished re-reading Fury, and I paid attention to the repetition of the word "inhuman" by Denning when talking about Jacen. I hope it continues to grow in Revelation._________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin.

You're kidding, right? But I guess they're not everywhere. They are spaced around the country, though. Well...around here, you either go to Books-a-Million or Barnes & Noble. There's a Borders across the lake, but it's too far to bother with unless you're in the area. Although they do have a much wider comic collection than BAM or B&N. I don't mess with the comics too much, though, so it's not a big deal._________________

So, only about 6 hours until the book is released! I'm sure some of you have it already, so feel free to discuss it! While this is a Spoiler thread, please keep any major spoilers in the spoiler tags for at least two weeks. After that, you can openly post any spoilers here, but only here!

I have it in my hands! Haven't started it yet, but...that's not the point! _________________

Okay, okay, I know. But I was in the middle of Master of Deception, and felt duty-bound to finish it. I did read the prologue, though. I am now to page 118, though. Great stuff!_________________

Finished it. Superb book. I was so hooked that when it ended, I just had to have more so I went ahead a read the preview to Invincible. The excerpt from Invincible was so good, that in itself, it nearly rivaled Revelation in it's entirety.

Now for the spoilers...

First off, I can't believe they killed Palleon. He was awesome. The only good Imperial left. I thought for sure we get to see him help Fel build some kind of empire that would bring the galaxy together after the war. To top it off, Tahiri was the one to pull the trigger. She must die. Question will be who gets to do it...I'm thinking Daala, Traviss really built up her character so I think she's going to be playing a big role yet.

And Traviss did an excellent job with meshing Jaina and the Mandos. Great interactions. I loved it. Fett, Beviin, Carid, all enjoyable. Plus now we know that Jusik is Gotab. It's also possible that old Vau had to kill Mird. Poor Mird, I liked him.

Caedus has been a Sith Lord disappointment. He's still a overconfident, cocky, weak little Force user who was totally outclassed by Luke. Too bad Luke didn't take care of business. I did like the fact that he wasn't portrayed as all powerful. He had his limits, even to the point that Carid almost killed him, could have, but was stopped by Boba.

Overall, lots of good things in this book. I actually think this is my favorite so far from LOTF. Even though there wasn't a lot of action as compared to some of the others
there was a lot of story there, dialog and character interaction, all of which I liked. But there is no longer any doubt, I think Invincible will top them all.

Now if only they make a book with the new ships in it. I really want to see these things.

And here are some spoilers from INVINCIBLE...for those who read the preview at the end.

I read this and thought it was awesome! So much action in such a tiny spot. For one, I'm glad Boba will be back. Plus we get to see the Verpine. The mention of the discussion between Boba and Daala sounds like a possible future story arc of its own. But I couldn't help but wonder if Fett is going to survive this book. The battle made me wonder.

Oh, darn. I'm so tempted to read your spoilers! *reaches for mouse* *slaps hand* But I can't! Have to finish the book first. *rushes off to dive back into Revelation*_________________

And a comment about droids...minor spoilers...really minor.

Click here to see the hidden message (It might contain spoilers)

In Revelation we see Caedus relying more and more upon droids. He even says he prefers to interact with them. He's got them 'practically' running the government. They're already heading Senate committees. My thought is this, what if all this leads to a droid take over of the government. Something nobody sees coming. Galaxy is in chaos, everyone's drawn away in some battle away from the Core and next thing you know, droids decide to take over. I think it would make for an awesome story arc, Droid Revolution. Plus we haven't seen much, if any, from R2 or C3PO.

Okay, I couldn't stop myself that time. Had to read it! But I don't think anything majorly major was given away. So I haven't ruined my day. Always a good thing. _________________

I agree, it's definitely Traviss's best book of the series.

One spoiler issue I am curious about that ties into the Republic Commando series:

On page 382, Gotab says "I have healed brain injuries before..." - I am hoping this means Fi and that he will get better.

@comanderbly

Good eye, I missed that one completely. It's almost a certainty that that is who he is referring to. But I'm not sure it means he gets back to 100% but probably just confirming that he was able to help him. I'm more interested in how Venku ends up with Gotab after all these years. Many question left unanswered._________________

I want to think now that ya'll are talking about Fi. Hmm...but anyway. I thought this line was really funny:
